[Captivate General] Drachen:
I'm pretty sure AT&T does disallow use of the H icon. They did on my Fuze. The reason is that there's ALWAYS confusion when people don't have a good operational knowledge of the protocol names. There's always someone on the EnergyROM or Cyanogenmod threads asking why "only" H comes up when they expect 3G.

Anyway, I have an AT&T band Nexus One as well as a Captivate. The N1 is definitely HSUPA compatible. I just tried speedtest.net a few times and got an average of 2.5M down and 175k up (5 runs no run over 256k) in midtown Manhattan. On my Captivate I'm getting ~4M down and 200k up. Upload speeds are about the same, probably limited by AT&T's current (under) capability.

I don't have access to an iPhone 4, but if you do, could you do a few runs on the speedtest.net app on both devices from the same location and let us know the results? At this point, I'm pretty convinced it's the HSUPA equipment screw-up at AT&T not lack of HSUPA on the phone.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
That's what I was saying. My iPhone 4 got HSUPA here with no issue at all. When everyone else's HSUPA had issues, I still had no problem at all. So unless HSUPA decided to die in my area the day I returned my iPhone 4, I don't think the Captivate has it.
[Captivate General] Drachen:
When did you return it? The iPhone 4 was released on June 24 and the AT&T HSUPA issue cropped up around July 6th or so. That's when my Nexus went from over ~1M up to ~200k up. If you gave it up after July 6, what sort of upload speeds were you getting? What sort of speeds are you getting now on the Captivate? Not trying to grill you or anything, I'm genuinely curious.
[Desire General] kerpz:
How do I completely wipe my partition where I have installed all my apps from the previous ROM which is running apps2sd?

Everytime I flash a new ROM, I would wipe everything including SD:ext, but still, when I load up the new ROM, the apps would all still be there eventhough I haven't restore it.

This is really weird, would like some feedback pls.
[Desire General] x01a4:
Settings->Privacy->Uncheck "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore"
[Desire General] kerpz:
i did not tick that option in the previous ROM
[Desire General] Scann69:
I would use AMDesireRecovery to do this. Just to be sure, i do repartition the SD Card from the recovery :)

That's just me and it's probably the slowest way so somebody else might give better advice.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Ok, I have the latest version installed, app is on ignore list in my Task Manager and still it does not make automatic backup on given time ? What is the problem ? Does anyone else have this problem ? I want it to make silent backup on Monday while I am sleeping but nothing happened. Actually it was 02:00 on Monday, it should be last night then.

Cheers
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Anyone has done scheduled backup in this app ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] CharlesW123:

Just tested this and worked fine for me ?

Am on rooted handset, running on the R2BA023 firmware (rooted).

Sheet, mine is 020 rooted. Will try again, dont know what could be the problem. I am talking about nackup when the screen is off and the phone is on sleep, over night. Hope you have tried that and that it works.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
Wait, does TB backup phonebook, SMS etc ? I have just read that it doesnt backup that !?!?!? What else TB doesnt backup ?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
It doesn't really backup stock apps. I mean it says its backed up but if u try to reinstall any if them the option for restore is blacked out!! although some sortof file its backed up within the folders but no apks.. I think they were .tar files or something! hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] damirbusic:
No, I dont need it to backup stock apps, I need it to backup data from those stock apps, such as phonebook entries, received/sent SMS etc. Can it do that ? Hope it can...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Erm I don't think it does!! Never has for me anyway

However for both, either use mybackup from the market

Or

the inbuilt backup & restore app (unles uve removed it)

http://db.tt/DlNSuy

the backup data option is usually the settings backed up for that app!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] crimper:
Backup stock apps and during restore it prompts you whether you want to restore app, app data or both.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pioneer1976:
Hi there,

I have tried out some of those Froyo ROMs (OpenDesire, DeFrost, SET) a few weeks ago. At that time all of those had a big problem draining the battery about 2 to 4 times as fast as the stock ROM would.

Are those problems solved in the current builds and should I give it a try again? If yes which ROM is the most gentle regarding the battery usage?

I think undervolting raises battery durability, overclocking lowers it, right? Are there any other factors like that?

I tried following the threads of the ROMs, but there is too much partly confllicting information about this question.

Kind regards, Peter.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] vargasjj:
Hello everyone.

1st of all, i'm so tired of searching in this whole forum regarding my issue. 2 days so far and no luck, so please if i missed some posts that would be unexpected.

If this post is not in the right place please mods relocate it because i couldn't get the main forum for my kind of phone.

I'm from Latin america, I got a HTC HERA110. I don't know if it's unlocked or not.

The main issue is that the phone is totally dead. The only thing i get is, i think is like a bootloader, it has RED, GREEN, BLUE screen and prompts and nothing more. I tried several key combinations with camera key, soft key, power key, even that little reset dot above SD slot. Nothing works. Only information i can get is this

IPL 4.24.0002

SPL 4.24.0000

I brought my ph to my local service provider tech support but they said there is no luck for my phone and i can't just leave it like this. But i know XDA-Devs are even better than those idiots. I got another HTC Juno (T-Mobile Shadow) and here i found several useful info and i started learning related to Windows Mobile based phones.

I read something regarding HardSPL and that stuff and since my IPL,SPL is greater than 1xxxx several posts explained i can go ahead and reflash the OS.

I tried that HardSPL stuff but most of them required to have the phone alive to store some cabs on it and install them so since my phone is dead, that's not gonna work.

So far i realized my ph is hardware similar to T-Mobile Wing, HTC P4350, HTC P4351, HTC P4350, HTC HERALD. So i decided to re-flash the whole OS...

So i tried to get some NHB files. I got the Original on T-Mobile Website and some others for HTC HERALD and HTC P4350. I actually tried with another one called HTC ATLAS.

My Ph is been connected to my laptop via USB. I got Windows 7 x64, i don't know if that is a problem. So i started trying all those RUU flashers.

Before 4%-5% of the proccess the screen on my ph prompted a progress bar and somehow it goes blank and i got some errors such like INVALID VENDER ID (with HTC ATLAS and T-MOBILE WING), INVALID MODEL ID (with HTC P4350), UPDATE ERRROR (with HTC HERALD).

I tried with that NHB tool to extract the NHB files ( this is, supposly, to fix INVALID MODEL ID) but it didn't work, after tried that one i got UPDATE ERROR. I even try with that GoldenCard stuff with an SD card but i couldn't even export the .img file, i got an error on the cmd lines and inside the Pearl Manager i can't fine XdaDevelopers packages.

At this time i'm really frustrated and so tired. I don't know if my ph is branded to any company here such like Movistar or whatever. The only thing i know is that every single thing i tried promptes errors.

I would really appreciate some help here. Thank you and the best lucks for you.

If you have a memory card, try to grab the rom you downloaded (the .nbh-file) and put it on the card. It should be renamed as heraimg.nbh.

I think the card has to be smaller than 2 GB.

Power on the phone with the camera button depressed until you see the rainbow screen.

If there's enough brain left in the phone it should find the rom image and ask you if you want to flash by pressing volume down. You have about 10 seconds before it tries to boot normally.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neoconair:
I recently noticed that the LED light for missed SMS - which formerly blinked for the default five mins - no longer did so.

I've checked the 'Sounds and Notifications' option in 'All Settings' (I'm using Sense 2.5 stock ROM, WM 6.5) and found that the flash LED option for 'new message' was unchecked. I rechecked the box (and changed the duration - didn't know that could be done without a mod), along with 'display message on screen' and 'vibrate'. Now, although the other two options have taken effect the LED still doesn't blink.

I've recently installed a few mods/apps, one to create a registry entry to enable wake-up on new SMS, and Missed Call Reminder for repeating alerts for missed events. I thought they might be interfering with the LED but have removed them both no avail.

Any suggestions?

What is the best way to enable tethering with a sprint touch pro 2?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sak211l:
I have attached a text file and a old cab I use that works also
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] sak211l:
Enable USB Teathering -

1. Go to: [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]

2. Create a new DWORD Value called "Flags" and set the value data to "4"

(if it is already there then skip)

3. Softreset

4. Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]

5: Delete the "isext.dll" entry

6. Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]

7. Change "ForceCellConnection" from "PhoneAsModem" to "Sprint"

8. Softreset

Then plug USB cable into phone and PC. The phone should pop-up a menu - select internet modem. Internet sharing will appear on the phone and Status should display "connected".

Anyone know if there is a non touchwiz widget with the same or similar functionality?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
I use People Widget when i choose to not use Buddies now. I'm still going back and forth between touchwiz and ADW. i think i'm going to stick with touchwiz now though as it keeps another program from running all the time, since touchwiz runs anyways unless you delete it, but i don't want to chance losing something necessary to the phones stability.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] emarsha:
While I use the LauncherPro "Friends" widget, I find the Socialite app a nice change, specially when I want to switch to a different home launcher and the Friends widget isn't available. I haven't had any problems or FC's. Syncs every 5 minutes on auto, or you can manually refresh the feeds. To uninstall, I go to the Settings/Applications and remove from there. The preview pictures come out pixelated, but when you click on the feed, it clears up. I personally like it as an alternative. :D It's both a widget and application, I like the widget a lot because of the separate tabs.

All in all, it's a nice little app.

[Captivate General] lebe0024:
Switching yesterday to android was a shock when I found out there was no visual voicemail for android on AT&T. Dialing in for voicemail seems archaic now. But google voice can easily take over your AT&T voicemail and much much more. You don't even have to use your google voice phone number to use the voicemail feature.
[Captivate General] hullos:
Check out HulloMail as well. HulloMail is available for Android, iPhone and Blackberry in the US and UK. The app is free and offers everything you want from VVM and more.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
True, I didnt even think about that. I dont even know how to dial in for voicemail on AT&T. The entire time on AT&T I had an iphone that did all that stuff automatically.
[Captivate General] kotoko:
Google voicemail transcribes which is even more awesome
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Google Voice is great if you don't use Google Apps, if you use a Google Apps account it won't work with it, which is really a pain. I don't want to maintain two separate Google accounts

How do you set up google voice to be your voicemail application, even if someone calls your regular phone number, not your google voice number?
[Captivate General] dontshakepandas:
Basics: Adding Google voicemail to your current mobile forwarding phoneShare Comment Print

If you're using a Google number, you can still set up Google voicemail with any mobile forwarding phone.

To do this, click Settings at the top right of the page. On the Phones tab, click the Add Google voicemail to this phone link to get started. The mobile carrier for your forwarding phone will need to be one of our current supported carriers.

So during the wizard to set up google voice I choose GV for my voicemail, and all it does is says no changes made and kicks me back to the GV wizard. I am unable to get this to work.

anyone have some ideas?
[Captivate General] MendedEagle:
Did this earlier in the week. Here's what I did.

Install Google voice as you normally would but don't do any of the app's set up for voicemail use..it wont work. Go to settings>call settings>voice calls>call forwarding.

Leave the first option...think its Always Forward...as disabled but the final three options where the calls get forwarded to your AT&T voicemail...edit those so the number is your GV number. That should take care of it.

Be sure to write down your AT&T voicemail number just in case you want to change it back.
[Captivate General] Main Target:
This worked. Am I charged minutes for calls getting forwarded to this number?'

Additionally, when I make google voice calls, can I add my GV number to alist for free calls?
[Captivate General] MendedEagle:
I don't believe you get charged per minute for call forwarding.

As far as the A List goes...I have no idea.
[Captivate General] ruppert:
Actually, you do use your minutes when you forward a call to your google voice voicemail. I know this from looking at my bill. I don't know about the a-list feature though, I've never used it.
[Captivate General] MendedEagle:
Really? Wow. That's unnecessary. Oh well. Not like I don't answer my phone anyway so oh well.

I wonder if adding the google voice number to the a-list will allow free call forwarding....
[Captivate General] Main Target:
A-List essentially is a list of numbers that you have unlimited calls to and from. When I was on my iphone you initiated GV calls by getting a call sent to you with your caller ID, so I would add that number to my a-list and voila, free calls.

not sure how it works with the app though.

Edit: looks like every time you dial out of GV it uses a different 10 digit number so you cant abuse a-list...shameful! Wonder i theres a way to force it to use a specific number
[Captivate General] Main Target:
Good news you can roll back your version of GV and have it use the same number everytime when you try to connect a call.

First of all, I apologise if this is meant to go in general, so mods can move it, and also if this has been asked before.

Anyway, I can't install Google Sky Maps, comes up with 'Unknown Error -18' and I can install Sense note widget either.

The thing that confuses me more is that I can install any app from CM6/Vanilla FroYo rom (Contacts, Car Home, Home Tips (br0 tips as it is on CM6) and even the CyanogenMod settings. Granted, I can only get to the CM settings via bettercut, and I don't think that most/any work, but still, its strange I can install it at all, right?

Just wondering if anyone has the reason for the strange behaviour.

Cheers :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] ephumuris:
Well i know for a fact that the HTC Widgets like notes will not install on even a 2.1 eclair rom so that's why they still don't install on 2.2.

The iphone was very easy no matter where you were in the phone: double click on the home button and you were presented with your list of favorite phone numbers. Very quick and easy. With android, the best I can come up with is Home -> Phone -> Favorites -> Swipe to the right of a favorite contact.

I must be missing something here.
[Captivate General] Griffon23:
I have my most dialed contacts saved as shortcuts on one of my home screen panels. There are probably faster ways using apps or downloadable widgets, but for now this is working pretty quickly.

Beats me, this is something I was wondering myself. I have done it both ways. Added my most called people to my "Favorites" list. Also, I put a shortcut to a few of my closest friends on one of my home screens.

But you're right, the iPhone made it much easier. This is something I realized last yr when trying out a Moto Droid. I see Android hasnt made it any easier yet.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
There's so freaking many ways to do this on Android it's ridiculous.

One option is using Launcher Pro and making items of the dock shortcuts to your contacts.

Another option is creating icon shortcuts on your homescreens.

Or a shortcut to your contacts.

Tons of ways to do it.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
You just basically restated what we had already stated. Its a few extra buttons to push to make a call in android vs the iphone favorites list.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
So you've got to do two taps to get the iPhone favorites versus having them on your homescreen... Seems like Android results in less taps to me.

I remember setting my iPod to two taps and iOS4 reset that... Without warning. Apple is just one of those companies that doesn't give a damn about compatibility or anything.
[Captivate General] oldfossil:
Contacts is the first thing I noticed when I got the phone. No simple import from Outlook. I bought the Captivate yesterday, coming from an iPhone 3G and may exchange the Captivate for an iPhone 4. I'll give it another few days to get used to the phone before I decide.

I wanted to back up my phone before I started playing with it too much but can't get Kies to work. It's a common problem.

The iPhone UI is way more mature and elegent than the Samsung. You may be able to take some time and customize the Samsung the way you want it but the iPhone is pretty much the way I want it already. The iPhone apps are more consistant with the UI and don't generally look as amateur as the Android apps.

BTW, my 3G was jailbroken so I could pretty much do what I wanted with the iPhone (wireless tethering, non Apple approved apps)
